A special
meeting under the patronage of the Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa to
discuss the Allied Health Sciences degree course (para health degree) problem
will be held at Temple Trees today.
A group of
university students will also attend this discussion, in addition to the
Minister of Higher Education and the officials.
The meeting will focus attention on the problem related to the number of
years of this degree course.
Meanwhile Senate
of the Peradeniya University had approved the four year duration of the Allied
Health Sciences degree course at its latest meeting held on Wednesday (May 21),
Peradeniya AHS Faculty Dean Dr. D. B. M. Wickremeratne said.
He said that
the university’s supreme body Senate had recognized it and approved the making
of syllabi accordingly for four years.
AHS Faculty
was started in 2007 in the Peradeniya University and since then six other
universities in the country have commenced AHS courses, but they do not have
separate AHS faculties. At present Universities of Kelaniya, Sri
Jayewardenepura, Ruhuna, Jaffna, Eastern, and South Eastern are the other seats
of higher learning where AHS degree courses are taught.
Dr. Wickremeratne
said that the Senate’s decision would be forwarded to the University Grant
Commission’s approval.
At present,
AHS students are conducting Sathyagrahas at five locations demanding the
restoration of four year degree course. The Sathyagrahas at the Galaha
junction, opposite Galle Bus Stand, opposite Fort Railway Station, opposite Sri
Jayewardenepura University have passed 160, 150, 60 and 20 days respectively.
